Abram Herbert Lewis - Spiritual Sabbathism

APPENDIX 209
conberg's articles; see also Baldwin: Fragments
in Philosophy and Science, 63; and Schiller:
Lotse's Monism, in "Humanism." On this
matter of internal contradiction, note Eucken's
remark on Spinoza himself : "There is no
philosopher who, in the fundamental texture of
his system, is so compound of contradictions as
the thinker who is praised by many as the supreme
example of the quest for unity" (Life of
the Spirit, 313). Then note that Eucken in turn
receives a similar criticism from his expositor,
Boyce Gibson (Rudolf Eucken's Philosophy of
Life, sec. ed., 147) ; the critic wishes that
"Eucken's sharp contrast between psychical existence
in time and substantial spiritual being
out of time" might be modified. When we read
such comments as these, we can understand why
Hegel's philosophy of contradiction still keeps
its hold on so many thinkers.
